I came to "Windows Server 2012: Up and Running" via the online version at Safari Books Online (I use it in college). Crisp text, full color illustrations; a great source of information. Then the book arrived. The grays/blacks/whites in the print and illustrations remind me of a so-so copy machine job. Some of the print in the illustrations is simply unreadable. Yes, it could just be my copy but the comments in the (as of 3/24/2013) only other review also mention issues with the type and printing. The previews available (through Google preview) on the publisher's site (O'Reilly) show a full color book.To be fair to , if you click on the print version preview on , it does show black-and-white illustrations. I did not view the print version preview on prior to purchasing the book because nothing in the description - at least nothing I could see - indicated that the print version would be different from the online version. And, really, I would have been happy with the b/w layout if the illustrations were legible.The constant distraction of the poor printing is unfortunate. First time author Samara Lynn is clearly enthusiastic about Server 2012 and cares enough to communicate her ideas in a clear, concise style that retains a light, flowing character. Her references to the differences between 2012 and past versions will help uses familiar with the Server family feel at home.The book is not the be-all, end-all of Server 2012 books and that's why the subtitle is "Up and Running." I used the material to do just that - get up and running in a short time. Active Directory, Hyper-V, User Management, networking, remote access - the basics are covered.
